Arizona law, not California's
Boyd Johnson is licensed in Arizona as well as California. How long you have to file, and what happens when a government vehicle or road is involved, are different here. Read how Arizona differs before you assume anything about your deadline.
A city that counts its crashes
Mesa publishes an annual crash report. In 2023, by the city's own count, 45 people died in 41 fatal crashes on Mesa's public streets, an increase over the year before. The city has since been working on a comprehensive safety action plan aimed at its most serious crashes.
Light rail along Main Street puts trains, cars and people on foot side by side, and crashes near the tracks are often severe. If you were hit while walking, read pedestrian accidents.
Who writes the report
- City streets — the Mesa Police Department
- The US 60, Loop 101 and Loop 202 — the Arizona Department of Public Safety
Get the report number at the scene if you can. If not, note the agency, the date and the nearest cross streets or milepost.
